Learning from Wildlife-Inspired Awe
Hicks, Jonathan R.; Stewart, William P.
Journal of Environmental Education, v51 n1 p44-54 2020
This study sought to explore the implications for individuals who experienced awe while in the presence of wildlife. A conceptual framework was adapted that integrated the theory of emotional learning with experiential learning theory. In-depth interviews brought into focus the resultant learning stemming from experiences of wildlife-inspired awe. Learning manifested through pro-environmental and prosocial behaviors in which participants' career choices were affected as well as their advocacy for pro-environmental behaviors within their community of friends and family. In the process of chronicling participants' stories, we developed a better understanding of the ways in which people make sense of and ultimately learn from experiences of wildlife-inspired awe.
